? on wiring 3 SVC 4 ohm subs

[jaymann107 10+ year member]

Say I have 3 single voice coil 4 ohm Kicker comps and I wanted to wire them like what is listed below. Do you think it would work?

2 of the Kickers wired in series to 8 ohms. From there wire the 8 ohm load to the other SVC 4 ohm Kicker to get a final load of 2.66?

I've never tried to wire speakers this way and was not sure if it would work so any input would be greatly appreciated. And if you are going to be an Ass about it don't even reply. Thanks

don't do it like that, just run them parallel to get a final load of 1.33. speakers will be pulling different loads.

you should wire them all the same way, the 2 subs with the combined total of 8 ohms will be seeing half the power of the other one ( or a 1/4 im not 100% ) you should just wire them to be like 1.33 ohms and call it a day, with ohm rise you will be around 2ish when they are playing
